Pratt's Draw-a-thon

So Yuki (Yi's friend) who is in Pratt studying Interior design, invited us to Pratt's Draw-a-thon. I've been looking forward to it the WHOLE WEEK and FINALLY, ITS TOMORROW! AHHHHHHH.

Here's what it's about:

Pratt Institute will hold its 21st Annual Draw-a-thon on Friday,
4th Floor on 200 Willoughby Avenue between Classon Avenue and Hall Street in Brooklyn.
Admission is $10 in advance and $15 at the door. 12 Hours of Drawing/ painting/ sculpting from the figure, plus : Pizza, fruit, coffee

Throughout the evening and into the night, 18 models circulate throughout
the drawing studios. Specific studios are dedicated to poses ranging
from the energy and frenzy of fast action poses, to sessions of five
minutes, twenty minutes and one-hour duration. There is also the
opportunity to work from extended poses of three and six hours.

One of the unique aspects of this event is the opportunity it provides
both students and art professionals to work from groups of models posing
together. There will also be a studio devoted to costume modeling, a very
popular recent addition. The marathon culminates in a grand finale in
which all of the models pose together in continuous slow motion on the
same model stand to the accompaniment of live African drum music.

Pratt will also award prizes at the end of the Draw-A-Thon that are
generously donated by area art stores. In addition, art supplies donated
by the Prattstore will be handed out during the event.

VOILA! CANT WAIT. Will post pictures tomorrow! It lasts from 7 pm to 7 am. Don't think I'll last that long though!
ha.
